The patch in itself probably is right, but can you explain your usecase a
bit more?
LNK4254 is a link.exe error; linking mingw object files or static
libraries with link.exe is generally not supported. (That said, avoiding
unnecessary divergence is of course good, but there are many fundamental
issues you'll run into at various points if you do that.)
Yes, you're right, LNK4254 is a link.exe error. I just noticed that when
I find
something equivalent to __attribute__((constructor)) in MSVC. When I
refer to
the mingw-w64's implementation of sect_attrib.h and take these codes
directly in
my Visual Studio, link.exe complained merging .CRT into .rdata with a
different
attributes. It's even a bit strange why the MSVC-specific extension appears
here, I don't think it has a use case, it's just to avoid confusion as
in this
case.
I also noticed
https://github.com/reactos/reactos/commit/439126ffd669bde03c032216f9bf617c0a40ea8b.
They made similar changes in 13 years ago.
